Father Dominick Navarette in the
Seventeenth century discovered certain in
falhble signs Of wind. One never failing
token WAS the running and fluttering
about of little insects aboard the ship.
and the more restless they are the higher
the wind. and by Observing what place
they came from mariners shall know if
it will be fair Another sign, accord
ing to his reverence. is when pigs begin
to run and tumble about ship in a
calm. Baumgaren, in his travels, "
says he was with pilot who by putting
his finger in the mouth and then holding
it up, "prognosticated to us that we
should have wind very speedily. which,
indeed, proved accordingly" All that
the modern sailor can do by wetting his
finger and lifting it is TO feel if there be
any movement in the air. The digit has
long ceased to he a sibyl. Formerly the
Brittany fishermen raised the wind at
will by procuring the dust swept out Of a
certain church and blowing it in the
direction from which they desired the
breeze to come. Sandman sailors also
possessed the same useful art. To pro-
cure q fair wind they had nothing to do
but to sweep a chapel after mass and
blow the dust of it after departing ships.
